[18F]fluoromethylbenzylsulfonate ester: a rapid and efficient synthetic method for the N-[18F]fluoromethylbenzylation of amides and amines

Appl Radiat Isot. 1998 Jan-Feb;49(1-2):73-7. doi: 10.1016/s0969-8043(97)00224-8.

Abstract

We have prepared 4-[18F]fluoromethylbenzylsulfonate esters as fluoromethylbenzylating agents. These agents are readily prepared by an [18F]fluoride ion displacement of the corresponding bissulfonate esters. The application of these 4-[18F]fluoromethylbenzylsulfonate esters to N-alkylation reaction of spiperone and 1-phenylpiperazine shows that the products 3-N-(4-[18F]fluoromethylbenzyl)spiperone and 1-N-(4-[18F]fluoromethylbenzyl)-4-phenylpiperazine are rapidly produced with high radiochemical yields under a no-carrier-added condition.
